Arizona State vs Oregon Prediction

The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked good in their games this season with their 13-5 record overall and their 5-2 conference record which has them near the top of the Pac-12. They have looked really good in their games lately and have been a force on their home court all season with their 9-0 home record. Meanwhile, Arizona State has also looked good in their games this season with their 11-7 record overall and their 5-2 conference record which also has them near the top of the Pac-12. Arizona State has been a really different team in their road games though as they are 2-2 in road games this season and Oregon has looked like a force in the conference this season as they are trying to challenge Arizona. Arizona State does have a really good team that has been performing better in the conference than they did in their non-conference games, but Oregon has more talent on their team this season as they are truly one of the best teams in this conference right now and they will be looking to add another conference win to their resume on their home court where they have been so good this year. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"Just letting the game come to us. I think we just took what USC was giving us. They were sloppy with the ball. They don't really have a lot of ball-handling unfortunately, because of injuries and that type of stuff. So, we have to use that to our advantage." - Bobby Hurley after his team’s win against USC in their last game on Saturday.


"We got to guard God dang it. We're one for five in games we gave up 80 points. We're just not as committed on the defensive end as we need to be." - Dana Altman on his team’s defense after their loss against Utah in their last game on Sunday.
